## Resource

The hosts share their experiences preparing for a heavily hyped winter storm—what came true and what didn’t. They discuss frozen waterers, moving a newborn lamb to shelter, feeding pigs and livestock behavior in extreme cold, and managing compost and heat sources on the homestead. Between weather app skepticism, DIY preps (generators, propane, wood stoves), wiring and construction updates, and tips for staying warm and keeping animals safe, this episode covers practical homestead strategies for winter challenges.Shop Talk T-Shirt: https://sowtheland.com/products/homestead-shop-talk-podcast-t-shirt Sow the Land: https://www.youtube.com/@SowtheLandLumnah Acres: https://www.youtube.com/@LumnahAcresHollar Homestead: https://www.youtube.com/@TheHollarHomesteadHomestead Shop Talk is a weekly audio podcast hosted by Jason, Ben and Al.
